My God, "Game Change" was horrifying

[MrScorpio]

Yes, I know that Barack Obama won by the modern equivalent of a land slide... But a person like Sarah Palin should have never been considered as a responsible selection for a vice-presidential choice.

If this doesn't provide proof that our political system is broken, I don't know what does.

[bowens43]

1. Santorum is worse the palin

[FSogol]

2. Can't disagree with that statement.

[sharp_stick]

3. I'll second this

not only is he just as much a theocratic wacko he's not as outright stupid as she is. The damage that he could cause the world would be astounding.

[Demonaut]

6. I read that as "santorum is worse than pain"

thinking "it depends how much gets on you"

[Gore1FL]

11. I think the two are synonymous...

...and I dont care what definition of Santorum you are using.

[pinboy3niner]

7. Absolutely. No matter how much Pa(l)in you're in, do NOT apply Santorum!

Not even Liberally!

[Maven]

9. Agreed.

She's just a power-hungry idiot who will say whatever her flock wants to hear to gain more power. Those are a dime a dozen.

He's an absolutely backwards creep who truly believes all the weird shit he says. In a sweater vest!

[TheKentuckian]

16. It takes a Palin to frame a Santorum as debatable.

Before Palin sweater vest was a washed up, dumbass, mad as a hatter, fuckwit theocrat that was mostly a fluke as a Senator and a joke of a Presidential candidate. Not plausible but after giving Bachman serious face time and Phalin actually being on a major ticket, it becomes contextually reasonable and no longer a laughing matter.

Who Santorum is there to set up down the line might be the real question.

22. The qualifications for running for office as a Repig

have been defined so far down that higher forms of plant life now are perfectly acceptable candidates in their world. And yes, that is freaking frightening.

[Justice wanted]

4. Can't wait to see it. You are right the Palin VP Nom should be a wake up call to America.

[demtenjeep]

5. do you think it will ever be available not on HBO?

I will have to break down and sign up for HBO for a month if not

[jeff47]

8. Probably will end up on DVD/Netflix sometime, but not in the near future (nt)

[Skittles]

10. ? the DUBYA PRESIDENCY should have been a wake up call

but NO ONE is holding him accountable for ANYTHING

[Justice wanted]

12. That's true...However by the end of the Presidency I had the Feeling W kind of knew what he

was doing. He was playing off his dumbness and was in fact protecting himself. Remember the bunch of land he bought in South America?

No one who is really that dumb by lands and prepares for perhaps a hesity run.

[B Calm]

13. and the republican candidates they are

running this year are just as horrifying. .

[MrsCorleone]

14. Watching it for the 3rd time tonight.

Can't help myself. Good movie!

[Pilotguy]

15. Loved the Movie, but...

I thought the movie was too easy on McCain. He's portrayed as the "Happy Warrior" but we all know he's an angry and mean SOB.

[lob1]

17. I have no inside information, but I think if they'd painted McCain

as the hateful man he is, it'd be too easy for people (pubs) to dismiss the movie as a hit piece against all Republicans. This way the movie looks like it went out of its way to be fair.

[Blue Owl]

18. ...the horror ...the horror

Give us your best Marlon Brando inflection!

[TrogL]

19. An incredible clusterfuck

Everybody thought everybody else had vetted her, then they discovered she didn't understand basic geography, then discovered she was incapable of learning so they fed her a bunch of scripts, then she went completely rogue.

Amazing line at the end of the movie, McCain telling Palin "don't let...Limbaugh take over the party".

[jwirr]

20. But was she any worse than what they are offering us now?

[malaise]

21. It provided proof that we were right here at DU

She is as dumb as a sack of rocks
